Although both HQ and the Digital Design Lab are open on a first-come, first-served basis, you can also book workspaces and equipment ahead of time in order to secure access. This can be done using our online booking system. If you do not book ahead of time, there is no guarantee that you will have a spot. Whether you book ahead of time or drop in, you will need to check in once you arrive. If you don't check in within 15 minutes of your booked time, your booking will be cancelled.
How to make a booking:

Whenever you are working in an M2Z space, you must first check in using your unicard. For both HQ and Digital Design Lab, this can be done on location (at the room).
At the entrance of the room, you will see a computer with a check in screen and a card reader.
You should only use equipment that you feel you can operate safely. In addition, within M2Z, there are 4 different categories of equipment, labelled by colour. These colours identify whether a given piece of equipment requires additional training and if supervision is required after completing the training.
As our facilities are constantly evolving, new equipment that requires special training before use may be added at any time. You can find a list of all available access trainings for both spaces and equipment using the following link:
